king street pilot is permanent

Toronto, 2019.04.16

Every day I cross the center of Toronto's downtown via street only usable by transit, taxis and bikes - not a big idea globally but new to TO. This was put in place as a "pilot" to verify the idea, and the pilot seems to have worked because today city council voted to make the street's design permanent.

I'd like to thank all of the Councillors who voted for this, it directly makes a difference to my safety.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.
